As I’ve written extensively, Australia’s history has been systematically and deliberately falsified by ideologically driven academics and mendacious activists. Case in point, the so-called ‘Massacre Map’, which purports to ‘document’ ‘massacres’ that never, and couldn’t possibly have, happened. Even for those which did happen, only one side of the story is given: the fact that the ‘massacres’ were often reprisals for unprovoked murderous attacks is conveniently hidden.
But the lies have been so thorough and successful that children are taught as ‘fact’ wholly fanciful notions (such as that ‘Aborigines were classified as flora and fauna’) and wildly distorted claims, such as that Aborigines were ‘imprisoned’ on missions or that children were ‘stolen’ to ‘breed out the colour’.
Australia isn’t alone when it comes to wild distortions and outright lies about its history. Canada has to deal with the same systematic deceit by dodgy activists.
Canadian taxpayers have recently shelled out $10 million on a report, written by Kimberly Murray, into ways of commemorating Indian residential school children who went missing from these establishments, presumed murdered by their teachers and guardians. Ms Murray, a member of the Kahnesatake Mohawk Nation is ‘Independent Special Interlocutor for Missing Children and Unmarked Graves and Burial Sites associated with Indian Residential Schools’. The problem, however, is that there is no evidence to support the loud and insistent claims that indigenous children were deliberately killed in these schools: none whatsoever.
In fact, in almost every case, there’s no evidence at all of so-called ‘mass graves’. That didn’t stop the activists and lying legacy media whipping up a hysterical crusade against Catholic churches in Canada, with a wave of arson and vandalism that was endorsed all the way up to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
They’re not done yet. Now, they’re attacking Canada itself.
At a seminar on this subject on 30 October 2024 chaired by Beverley Jacobs, a law professor at the University of Windsor (who explained to the audience that since 1994 she has been looking for a way to prosecute ‘Canada’ for genocide and crimes against humanity), one of the co-authors of the Murray report, Professor Mark Kersten of the University of Fraser Valley, explained in detail what needs to be established in order to bring about a successful prosecution against ‘Canada’ and the ‘Catholic Church’.
The first step – and the step on which everything else in the prosecution depends – is to prove that there was an enforced disappearance, i.e., that the children at residential schools were deprived of their liberty by force.
Like the so-called ‘Stolen Generations’ in Australia, the only problem is that there isn’t a jot of evidence for it.
But that point cannot be established at all, and any prosecution against ‘Canada’ or the ‘Catholic Church’ on this basis would fail from the outset. Why? Because there are thousands of extant application forms which establish that Indian parents actually applied to send their children to Indian residential schools. It was an official Department of Indian Affairs requirement that an application form be signed by a parent before an Indian child could be admitted to an Indian Residential School […]
In short, one-third of indigenous children attended Indian residential schools on the basis of applications signed by their parents; another third attended Indian day schools on their reserves from which they returned home to their parents at night; and the remaining third were uneducated.
The other big problem for these hateful loons is that ‘Canada’ can’t be prosecuted under the Rome Statue.
Under Article 25 of the Rome Statute, only a ‘natural person’ – a living human being – can be prosecuted. In other words ‘Canada’ as a country, or its federal government as an entity, or the ‘Catholic Church’ as an entity, cannot be prosecuted in the International Criminal Court under the Rome Statute for crimes against humanity.
The absurdity of the situation is now clear.
As if absurdity ever stopped the Long March left.
